Hello again.

I do not know how far involved you are to the tear-down. So I will start from the beginning and give you Instructions from the start. This step by-step also includes torque values. After you figure out where you are in these steps I will update when you are ready. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions when needed. Thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Once the engine is on TDC use them at the same time and do not remove until the job is done. Please upload pictures of any problem you have so we can help. Cheers, Ken
